How to remove rear window trim 65 Dart?

[briwill70]

I have to say that the rear window trim on these cars is not a high point in Mopar design history. Part of the rear window trim was pulling away from the window so I pulled on it and the bottom strip came right off but the rest is on there pretty solid. Are there clips holding it on or just the tar window seal holding it in place? I want to remove all the windows before having the car painted next year. Thanks.

There are clips get a trim removal tool

Thanks. I figured. Guess the lower ones rusted to oblivion.

Yup, be prepared to do some rust repair.

Here's a clip on '67 Fury. You actually have to lift the trim slightly (on the widow side) then slide a very very thin tool (knife blade?) and press DOWN on the clip so it presses against the rubber. First you have to find out where the clips are!! Be careful and patient. I bent a piece of trim getting mine off. These things were engineered NEVER to come off.

The tension of the rubber window seal is all that holds the trim and the widow in place. You should be able to dig the strip out with a screwdriver.
